City goes off message re: ‘No Zoning’ theme

Saturday CAMH hosted an “Unzoned Houston bus tour,” and one of the stops was the house for which Dan Havel and Dean Ruck removed an egg-shaped core for display in CAMH’s No Zoning show.

Since the show is about how Houston’s lack of zoning has created an anything-goes climate in which unconventional, non-studio-based art has thrived, leave it to the city to go off message and red-tag the house as a dangerous building, apparently moving its slated demolition date forward. Which makes the piece that much more poignant and hilarious.

UPDATE: Here’s the part of the house that Havel and Ruck removed and installed at CAMH.
